| Oh don't worry, as cryan said, I can confirm he likes rum AND single malt scotches and a nice bourbon. Quite the tastes! |

He likes single malt?
Eeeeps, guess I'd better drink fast or hide the good stuff before Lost hits town.
Um, he doesn't like rum & single malt mixed, does he. Naaaw, nobody could like that.

Well, somewhere in his travels he came across single malt and he discovered he liked it. I didn't have any. I believe he came to liking rum while he was here as that is all that is available and as I was sick it was all his (in reality I do not drink, just for the record - Lost does not know that though). But unless he exhibits 'pirate' tendencies I would not worry. I do not believe he has mixed the two liquors though, unless he has visited Long Island and had the 'Tea.' Well, we didn't exactly have a conversation, I was feverish and bedridden, literally, so I am not exactly sure what is real and what I imagined. But looking back I think I am fairly safe in saying ALL conversations involving a penguin were imagined. But there was that one where I thought...oh, never mind. No one would believe me any way.

Make Way for Ducklings is a rather famous illustrated children's book set in Boston's Public Garden. In 1987 some bronze statues found there way into the park. Every year there is the duckling parade of toddlers dressed as ducklings, and the ducklings are often outfitted in the appropriate gear for the time of year, particularly if one of the sports teams is in the playoffs. This year they were decked out in both Red Sox jerseys and Bruins sweaters. Anyway...
Make Way for Lost

| You realize what this thread shows - we're just sending a penguin around to each other as an excuse to have another drink... |

Not us! We drank nary a drop in front of that sweet little penguin, and we're shocked (yes, SHOCKED) at the behaviour we're hearing about here! |

I didn't need the penguin for that. But it was nice to have a drinking buddy for a change...I mean cruising not drinking.

How is the transportation going?
Hopefully he is not laying drunk somewhere in a New York alleyway |

Lost has arrived in Western North Carolina!
We have a busy, busy, busy weekend planned, so it should be a good weekend for him.
Question -- how long am i supposed to keep him? (We are going to Disneyworld in a couple of weeks and he really wants to go -- if vawendy can wait?) |

That would end up awesome for me because I think I am after Wendy? I am going with a group of middle school kids on a 3 day club trip at the beginning of June and I'd love to take him on that trip. |

Originally it was suppose to have been just a couple of days. But for some it's been weeks.
And can someone explain to me what has to be done to keep myself on the "list" to get Lost. I see my name is not bold on the original, nor am I signing up for sugarsync which wants a buttload of money for me to have an account.

Excellent idea, if you have any way to put up a google calendar and have the time, please do it, I think that would be an excellent way of keeping track, after all, we don't want him to get lost again :)
I think 1 week of ownership gives people time to get out with Lost at least once and get some pics done.. Im sure Lost will enjoy a relaxing stay too. |
In response to  karmat's question about how long to keep Lost:
When this was first set up, way back when, it was a maximum of one week.
It would be nice to get back to that schedule.
Then it would get done in my lifetime and I would get to meet Lost, says she selfishly. |

I think we've abandoned the SugarSync site, and that someplace (a few pages back) is a link to a new sharing site, though for now you can just post the pictures here -- the idea was to eventually have the hi-res iages collected into a photobook or something ... |

| Exactly.. when the journey ends I will ask everyone involved to send me over their favourite 2 or 3 edited at full res .. The idea was to make a Photobook and have Children in Need auction it off for the charity. |

| My 9 yo is LOVING Lost. She keeps coming up with photo ideas for him. Yesterday, he hung out in the dugout with her softball team, and tomorrow he will hang out with my son's baseball team. |

Status update, marked with bold are the current or previous hosts.
ETA He's not even half way yet. I agree that we should limit it to one week.

Also a reminder on the file sharing, in case you would like to upload high resolution photos there.
Originally posted by tome:
Here are all the pictures uploaded to the previous SugarSync shared folder. Reminder - purpose of this folder is to gather all Lost photos you have (not only what you have uploaded to DPC), for Marac to use after the journey ends.
As you can see, I moved all photos to box.com, I hope they don't kick us out like the previous host did. We have 50Gb to work with ;).
Now, I don't want to bother everyone with opening a box.com account all over again. This folder is read-only but if you would like to upload your photos here, we can manage it. For example, I can send you an email address to which you email the photos and they will get uploaded in your folder automatically. Or you can always send them to me and I will upload them :-). If you already have a Box.com account, you will receive a share invitation with read-write privileges.
In any case, ex-hosts of Lost, PM me and we will work something out. There is already a nice quantity of photos here, why not continue it. |

We started roughly 14 months ago, and Lost has visited 24 venues thus far. When you consider there were 2-3 periods when he basically dropped off the map for several weeks or more, we're doing all right. As long as we keep him moving, we'll be in good shapes. The last half-dozen or so visits have been reasonably timely. |
